Vers une politique française de compensation des impacts sur la biodiversité plus efficace : défis et perspectives

The idea that development impacts on biodiversity could be offset to achieve no net loss of biodiversity has been heavily criticized. While it is denounced as a license to trash by some, it is seen as an unacceptable burden or even a new tax by others. In this context, in 2012 and 2013, the French M...
